You
might be able to recover some files from the Sigil temp folders.
To locate the Sigil temp folders do the following:
1. Close all Sigil instances.
2. a)
Windows: Select
C:\Windows\Temp in the Windows Explorer.
2. b)
Linux: Select
/tmp in your file manager.
3. Sort the folders alphabetically and look for folders that start with Sigil, e.g.
Sigil-ABC123.
4. Double-click the folder. If it contains an OEBPS folder, double-click it, open
content.opf in a text editor and look for the title metadata entry:
Code:
<dc:title>My Book Title</dc:title>
4. If it's your book, check the folder date/time and check the HTML files in the
OEBPS/Text folder. If they contain the lost text, copy the whole folder to the desktop and add the HTML files to a new book.
Do not modify Sigil temp files while Sigil is running!
